"Yi Cheng, you should take Xiao Pang and the others back to the mountain."
Qin Shou's voice rang in Yi Cheng's ears.
Yi Cheng stopped in her tracks, staring at her small, beady eyes, looking left and right, before finally scratching her head and asking the chubby boy beside her.
"Little Fatty, did you hear what Master Goose said just now?"
"No. "
Little Fatty shook his head, his big eyes crinkling, and happily stuck out his little tongue to lick the big, round candied hawthorn in his hand.
"Oh, the goose must have misheard."
Yi Cheng raised her head and continued to wave enthusiastically to the people around her.
At this moment, Qin Shou's voice rang in Yi Cheng's ears again.
"You heard me right. Hurry up and take Little Fatty and the others back to the mountain, or Master will spank your hands."
"I can't hear you, I can't hear you!"
Yi Cheng shook her chubby little head like a rattle drum, picked up her miniature horse, and ran into the street.
His eyebrows nearly flew off in shock.
"Little Fatty, Black Rabbit, run! Master's coming to catch the geese and take them back to the mountain!"
"Squeak—"
Black Rabbit and Little Fatty immediately bristled, abandoning their miniature horses and running quickly with their bellies sticking out, closely following behind Orange.
"Hey, "
Qin Shou laughed, his divine sense swept across like a whirlwind, instantly pulling the little guys in front of him.
"Go for it!"
The little ones were still running desperately with their eyes closed.
No matter how fast they ran, they were just standing still.
"Alright, open your eyes."
Qin Shou gave a stern rebuke.
"Listen up, everyone! You've all been playing around down the mountain for a year now. It's time to go back and cultivate in peace. Anyone who doesn't go back will have their legs broken, and they'll never be allowed to come down the mountain again. Understand?"
"I heard you, Master."
"Yes, Master."
Yi Cheng and the others pouted and lowered their heads, not daring to refute.
"Where's Da Mei? Why isn't she with you?"
Qin Shou glanced around and asked.
"Master, Da Mei is in the palace learning to make beautiful little clothes from Si Wu's wife."
Yi Cheng raised her hand and answered, "Da Mei also said that when she learns to make pretty little clothes, she'll make one for both the goose and the black rabbit."
"Then go back to the palace now and call for Da Mei to return to the mountain together."
Qin Shou instructed, "Remember, come back quickly. If you pretend to have forgotten again, Master will be angry."
"Yes, Master, I understand. I'll go and call Da Mei home right away."
"Little Fatty, Black Rabbit, geese, let's go!"
After saying that, Yi Cheng carried the miniature horse and ran towards the palace.
"Yi Cheng, slow down! Our horses are still behind us."
Little Fatty and Black Rabbit turned back, hoisted their miniature horses, and chased after Orange.
"Oh dear, the goose promised to go to Wu Dalang's house for meat-filled sesame cakes."
Yi Cheng stopped halfway and called out, "Master, can the goose finish its lunch before going back?"
"cannot. "
A voice replied from mid-air, and then Qin Beast's divine sense slowly dissipated in mid-air.
"Oh, that's a pity."
Yi Cheng sighed.
The sesame seed cakes from Dalang's house smell amazing!
"Your Highness, where are you headed? Come to my house for dinner!"
Just then, a vendor selling sesame cakes at a roadside stall called out to Yicheng.
"Big Brother, the goose is going home. It might be a long time before it can come to your house to eat sesame cakes again," Yi Cheng called out with some regret.
"Your Highness, shall I prepare some sesame cakes for you to take on your journey?"
"Huh! This is great! Thank you, young master!"
Yi Cheng and his companions rolled up several large sesame cakes, then grabbed a bunch of snacks and treats given to them by the people, and even brought several bundles of scallions, and ran towards the imperial city.
At this moment, in the Golden Palace, Xiao Xuan was holding the morning court session when Yi Cheng and a few others rushed in, hurriedly calling out:
"Siwu, Master has sent the geese back to the mountain. Quick, prepare plenty of local specialties for the geese to take back."
"Ahem, Your Highness, I'm in a meeting right now. You may leave now, and I'll prepare it for you after I'm done."
"No, Siwu, hurry up! If we get back late, Master will break our legs."
Yi Cheng looked somewhat anxious.
His small eyes were wandering aimlessly when he caught sight of Marquis Yongyi.
Upon seeing this, Marquis Yongyi's expression tightened, and he immediately retreated behind a minister.
"Don't see me, don't see me..."
Da da da!
Yi Cheng trotted over, put down the miniature horse, jumped up, patted Yongyi Hou on the shoulder, and laughed loudly, "Little Yong, I'm going home! Your little green pigs smell so good! Can I take a few back for my master and senior brother Chichi?"
"Your Highness, you've eaten almost all of my Emerald Spirit Pigs this year."
Marquis Yongyi said somewhat awkwardly, "Also, my name isn't Xiaoyong; it's Li Wu."
"Xiao Li, what's wrong with you?!"
Yi Cheng's small eyes widened immediately. "Last time we drank at your house, you said we were best buddies, and that I could eat as many of your pigs as I wanted. What, are you going back on your word now?"
Yi Cheng was a little angry, and her sparse eyebrows furrowed involuntarily.
Why is this person going back on their word?!
My senior sister taught us from a young age that we should keep our promises, so that others will respect us.
"Your Highness, when did I say that?" Marquis Yongyi frowned.
"It was last time, you said someone from a big sect bullied you because of their cultivation level. You asked me to help you get revenge, and I knocked him away with one punch. Then you invited me to your house for dinner. I ate twenty pigs and drank a lot of wine in one day, but the wine at your house wasn't as good as the wine my master brewed. Goose goose goose........."
Yi Cheng clutched her stomach and laughed heartily.
Little Fatty tugged at Yi Cheng's sleeve and whispered, "Yi Cheng, you're getting off-topic. Our goal is to get some Jade Spirit Pigs to take home and eat."
"Yes, yes, yes." Yi Cheng realized what was happening and nodded repeatedly in agreement.
"Little Li, are you going to give it to me or not? If you don't, I'm going to take the Three Character Classic!"
As he spoke, Yi Cheng reached into his pocket and pulled out the "Three Character Classic." This book was now a treasure to Yi Cheng, which he carried with him every day and reviewed every night.
When Yongyi Hou saw Yicheng about to take out the "Three Character Classic", he immediately raised his hand to stop him.
"Your Highness, please wait. I remember."
"Therefore, after the court assembly, I will have someone send you another twenty Emerald Spirit Pigs."
Marquis Yongyi spoke up.
"no. "
Yi Cheng shook her head. "I want a hundred geese. I'll take them home and raise them. When they have piglets, the geese will eat the adult pigs, and then the piglets will grow up and have more piglets."
"Also, you should go back and bring the pig over now; the goose really needs to get home."
"this...... "
Marquis Yongyi looked at Xiao Xuan.
Yi Cheng followed the gaze.
He immediately roared fiercely:
"What's wrong with you, Siwu? Why aren't you moving? Do you want to be late so Master will beat you up?"
"That's right, Master will be angry if we get back late, Siwu, hurry up!"
Little Fatty also shouted, hands on his hips.
"Squeak—, quick as a bat!"
Black Rabbit, like a pregnant woman in her tenth month, stood beside Orange and Fatty, shouting.
"well..... "
Xiao Xuan raised an eyebrow and chuckled, "Marquis Yongyi, did you hear that? Hurry back and bring the pigs over."
"You may all leave the court now."
Xiao Xuan waved his hand in acknowledgment.
The ministers withdrew.
......
On Turtle Mountain, the weather was fine and sunny.
Samantabhadra Buddha invited Qin Beast to discuss the Dao using a chessboard as the universe.
Qin Shou naturally refused.
If I really do it, wouldn't I be exposed?
"Since you're in such a good mood, why don't you play a game with Brother Song?"
"His chess skills are somewhat lacking, but he's grasped about three or four tenths of my essence."
Qin Shou smiled and set out a chessboard for them.
Song Ningsheng didn't expose him and played a game of chess with this holy Buddha from the Western Regions who had come from afar, while Qin Shou and Luo Xihe watched from the side.
Half a day passed quietly as pieces were placed and captured.
As dusk falls, the setting sun glows like blood.
Above the sea of clouds in the Great Wilderness, a golden cloud drifted towards us. When it got closer, we discovered that it was a glittering golden palace.
The palace was vast, stretching for thousands of meters, and cast a deep shadow.
At the top of the palace, on the shimmering tiles, sat a little girl, wearing a red dress with gold thread, swinging her little feet and humming a little song.
Below the palace were four chubby creatures, each holding up a palace in one hand, leisurely flying through the clouds.
He was running and laughing all the while.
"Master, the geese are back!"
Upon seeing the hilltop, Yi Cheng shouted happily.
"Junior Sister, slow down! You really can't move this."
Xiao Xuan followed behind, earnestly offering his advice.
"Get out of my way."
Yi Cheng sneered and raised her short leg to kick Xiao Xuan, but Xiao Xuan nimbly dodged and continued to dissuade her.
"Yi Cheng, why did you bring the Imperial Palace here?"
Looking at the silly antics of these little guys, Qin Shou didn't know whether to laugh or get angry.
"Master, Black Rabbit said he wants to bring the palace back so the geese can play the emperor in it."
Yi Cheng proactively reported, "Furthermore, the geese have too much stuff; some storage rings can't hold it all, so they've put a hundred pigs in the palace."
"You even brought a pig back?"
"Yes, Master, this pig is different. It tastes much better than the ones from the mountains."
Yi Cheng replied, her small eyes wide.
"Master, please persuade Junior Sister! She's moved the entire Imperial Palace away; where am I, the emperor, supposed to sit for court?"
At this moment, Xiao Xuan stepped forward and said aggrievedly.
Qin Shou glanced at Xiao Xuan, then at his foolish disciple, and said, "Yi Cheng, put the pig down. Your junior brother can carry the palace back."
“This…” Yi Cheng hesitated.
"Squeak, squeak, this palace is magnificent! I, Grandpa Rabbit, want it!" Black Rabbit hopped out. "Siwu, go back and build another one."
Upon seeing this, Xiao Xuan immediately wailed, "Master, your disciple..."
"stop! "
Qin Shou raised his hand to stop him, then raised an eyebrow and said, "If Black Rabbit likes it, let it stay. You can just build another one when you get back."
"But...building a palace costs money."
Xiao Xuan clenched his fingers, looking a little shy.
"roll. "
Qin Shou tossed him a storage ring and scolded him irritably.
"Why! "
Goodbye, Master!
"May Master be well!"
"Take care of yourself, Master, and look beautiful every day!"
"This disciple takes his leave!"
Xiao Xuan quickly stuffed the storage ring into his sleeve, bowed, and then rode away on a cloud.
Before leaving, he waved and shouted:
"Junior Sister, you're welcome to come to my house again to move palaces next time!"
"OK. "
Silly Orange was still responding.
"Squeak, Yi Cheng, where should we put the palace?"
Black Rabbit stared wide-eyed at the mountaintop, feeling that the palace was too big to fit comfortably.
"Let's leave it in the canyon."
Not far from the foot of Turtle Mountain, there was a large canyon where Yi Cheng and her friends often played. Qin Shou waved his sleeve, and the palace landed steadily in the canyon.
"Master, where should I put this lake?"
Little Fatty, holding up the wishing pearl, asked, "I moved half of the Four Nobodies Lake here, and I also brought a lot of little carp. Originally, I wanted to bring all my tens of thousands of little brothers, but my ancestor disagreed. I only brought... I brought... I don't know how many there are, because I'm still young, and I can only count to a hundred."
"Well........ "
Qin Shou glanced at the small river surrounding the Wishing Pearl, where bright red carp were swimming.
"Let's put it in the canyon too."
Finally, the Qin beast waved its hand, creating a river in front of the Golden Palace in the canyon. The river was vast and hundreds of meters wide.
"Haha, now I, the King of Lucky Koi, have two homes!"
Little Fatty immediately transformed into a giant carp and darted into the river, leading her little brothers in a joyful swim.
Qin Shou looked around, thought for a moment, and casually set up a concealment array above the canyon. From inside, one could see the outside scenery, but cultivators flying overhead could not see what was happening below.
That's safer.
After all, if a passing cultivator discovers a palace in the Great Wilderness, he would likely be curious enough to investigate, thus causing a lot of unnecessary trouble.
"Master, I want to fill the river with pebbles, and plant it with coral, pearls, and seashells..."
After swimming for a while, Little Fatty felt that although the pool was large, it wasn't as beautiful as the one on the mountain.
"There are plenty of pebbles in the mountains, you can find them yourself. As for coral, shells, pearls and the like, I will allow you to go down the mountain once you break through to the Nascent Soul Realm."
Then, you can go with Yi Cheng and the others to find Little Dragon Girl, and together you can go to the sea and find lots and lots of beautiful pearl shells.
Qin Shou began to make empty promises.
Little Fatty's eyes sparkled as he ate.
Raising her little fist, she confidently puffed out her cheeks and said:
"Yes, yes, I, the King of Koi, must work hard to cultivate! Hehehe..."
With that, he darted back to lead his underlings swimming.
Qin Shou brought Yi Cheng back to the mountain.
Both Samantabhadra Buddha and Song Ningsheng were still focused on the chessboard.
Qin Shou did not disturb them, but quietly observed from the side.
"Master, should the goose pretend to bump into the chessboard?"
Yi Cheng tugged at Qin Shou's sleeve, blinked her small eyes, and muttered softly.
"Need not. "
Before Qin Shou could speak, Song Ningsheng had already spoken.
"oh. "
Yi Cheng said "Oh," and since she didn't have any tasks to complete, she decided to go play in the Grand Palace.
"Black Rabbit, go and call Toad and the others. Tell them the goose brought back a palace and invited them to play basketball there."
"Squeak, I'm coming right away."
The black rabbit took off running down the mountain.
